Drake, Samuel G.
Annals of Witchcraft in New England, and Elsewhere in the United States, From their First SettlementPublisher: Benjamin Blom, 1967 New York. Book. Book condition: Good to Very Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall This is a reprint edition; the book was originally published in 1869. "This is the first attempt, so far as is known to the Writer, to collect together the Annals of Witchcraft in this Country. Like all first Attempts in an untrodden Path of History, this may fall short of Expectation in several respects. Those who look for a succession of Tales of Horrour of the most terrible Kind may be disappointed, while others will rejoice that there are no more of them, and may be satisfied that the Tragedies are interspersed here and there by Comedies. It has doubtless been a Question with all Readers of Accounts of the Witchcraft Cases which have occurred in this Country, how it happened that they were so similar to those which took place in England. The Question is easily answered; in other Words the Similarity is easily accounted for. Witchcraft was itself imported by those who first practised it here, and was perpetuated by the Importers and their immediate Descendants..." 306 pages with index. Book is ex-library with expected markings, etc. No dust jacket.
